Frederick County, MD Sheriff Chuck Jenkins accused the federal government of taking illegal aliens who have committed crimes and “releasing the back onto our streets,” and argued that the lack of enforcement is “political” on Thursday’s “Laura Ingraham Show.”

On the day after Easter, 2013, family, friends and FReepers from far and wide packed The Sweeney Funeral Home to share tears and the many tales of Doctor Raoul’s adventures in the cause of Theodore Roosevelt’s Americanism: “Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity and hardihood – the virtues that made America.” In his tribute to Doctor Raoul, Kristinn relates from personal experience how Doctor Raoul lived his Americanism. Even though Doctor Raoul didn’t appear from behind a door and shout “April Fool”, his presence was everywhere. The 1957 Chevy hearse parked out front; the Philly soft...

Sandy victim Scott McGrath who spoke directly to Obama right after the hurricane hammered Obama today saying that he’s a phony and a ‘straight out liar’. He said it’s been 2 months now and that no red tape has been cut. He also says that even though they need the aid money from Congress, they shouldn’t lard it up with pork because tax payers will have to pay for it down the road. Love hearing that, especially from a Sandy victim. Also, he said Chuck Schumer is full of it after lambasting Republicans for not passing it with all the...

A pair of bald eagles joined the Alcoa Davenport community in Iowa in 2009. They built their 7-foot nest on our 400-acre facility in a tree near the Mississippi River. In the spring of 2010 they fledged a pair of eaglets and later that year we installed our first Eaglecam. We recently launched a new camera with improved video streaming. Employees and the community helped name the eagle pair Liberty and Justice. In April 2011, an online poll named the single eaglet they fledged this year “Freedom”.

General Electric has brushed aside the doubts leading Republican presidential contenders have raised about climate science. The US industrial and financial conglomerate said it had long seen climate change as a valid concern after an internal evaluation of the scientific case in 2005. (Snip) Observers have attributed the party’s shift since the last election to a range of factors, including the rise of the anti-regulatory Tea Party and fears about unemployment. Others suggest the change is due to fossil fuel interests using so-called super PACs – the new generation of political action committees empowered by a 2010 Supreme Court ruling...

Post-'60s liberals, with the president as their standard bearer, seek to make a virtue of decline. If I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times: President Obama is destroying the country. Some say this destructiveness is intended; most say it is inadvertent, an outgrowth of inexperience, ideological wrong-headedness and an oddly undefined character. Indeed, on the matter of Mr. Obama's character, today's left now sounds like the right of three years ago. They have begun to see through the man and are surprised at how little is there. ........................................................< As a president, Barack Obama has been a force...

14 & 21 August 2009 Elder Street and Georgia Avenue, Washington, DC On 14 August Mrs T spotted an Azzhat poster with the words, “Thank God for IEDs” printed on it. She didn’t get a picture of it so you’ll just have to take her word. My experience says her word is pretty damn good. On 21 August we had weather make up all around us and it finally cut loose. I wanted to go down the street and pass out soap but Mrs T wanted to have a wet tee shirt contest. Without any beer it was hard to...

20 AND 27 JUNE 2009 Elder Street and Georgia Avenue, Washington, DC This AAR will be like Section 788 of Henry Waxman’s late-night, 300-page manager’s amendment to H.R. 2454June 20 Pics courtesy of Mrs. Trooprally. Mrs. T writes, “Here are the pictures from Friday. The bus did not come we left at 11:05PM, We were asked to leave. The new Garrison Commander and his wife came out to thank us for being there.

24 April 2009, Elder Street and Georgia Avenue, Washington, DC DC Chapter Members in attendance: The usual suspects rongkirby, Fraxinus, Trooprally, Lurker Bill, cindy_true_supporter, BufordP, Mr. & Mrs Trooprally Lacking inspiration this report is more than late. Not much new happens outside Walter Reed. We haven’t had a confrontation with the Azzhats in years. The Azzhats don’t even light candles for their “vigil” anymore.So it’s understandable that attendance has dropped off. However, Ron G did learn a valuable lesson which I will share. It was taught by Mr. Trooprally. It’s fairly easy to remember so if on the off you...

6 March 2009, Elder Street and Georgia Avenue, Washington, DC DC Chapter Members in attendance: rongkirby, Fraxinus, Trooprally, Lurker Bill, Cindy_true_supporter, 2nd Class Citizen, Plea Deal, Navy Vet, Tom the Red Hunter The moderating temperatures enabled the chapter to deploy our MOAB. Reliable sources informed me that only three people, as opposed to the standard four to six, were required to deploy the MOAB. I don’t know if it was the climate change or the anticipation of adjustment to DST but there was an affect on some of us manning the watch this Friday past. kburi warned us about his...

DC Tea Party – What Now? 27 February 2008 Lafayette Park, Washington, DC Reports on the DC Tea Party have been filed at Hot Air Joe the Plumber at D.C. Tea Party: No one on the Hill gives a rip about you, and Michelle Malkin Scenes from the D.C. Tea Party. But what the hay I’ll add my two cents and a couple of pictures to boot. Early on there was a general milling about and DC Chapter folks were tough to spot. Once the “organizers” figured out where their permit authorized them to have a 2nd Amendment activity the...

20 February 2009, Elder Street and Georgia Avenue, Washington, DC Honor Roll: rongkirby, Fraxinus, Trooprally, Lurker Bill, Cindy_true_supporter, 2nd Class Citizen, Plea Deal Photos by Plea Deal and some amateur. You’ll be able to spot the difference. Another chillsome evening (~35 degrees) at Georgia and Elder as the DC Chapter stalwarts moved into position to thank the wounded warriors for protecting us form those who would as soon decapitate us as look at us. It was a typical Friday evening for the DC Chapter. Good friends and lively discussions between waves and shouted “THANK YOUs” to the vehicles exiting and...

Rep. Walt Minnick (D-ID) decided to reverse engineer the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Porkulus Bill to see if he could find anything worth rescuing. In doing so, Minnick devised a stimulus plan that limits itself to real stimulus, rather than bloating itself into an omnibus pork package. It costs only $170 billion, and self-terminates when the economy recovers:

Karl Rove wrote Let's Be Worthy of Their Sacrifice in the Wall Street Journal on 2 Jan 2009. He closed with this thought , “May the New Year bring safety to all who wear our country's uniform, success in the missions they so passionately believe in, peace and comfort to their families, and reunion with all whom they love.” First AAR of the New Year and as you can tell from the accompanying pictures the Goracle was warming up some other part of the world. Larry McCan, a lifer of fifteen years, was waiting for his squeeze to pick him...

After almost two years of the most ethical congress, the economy is in the toilet. But not to worry, Charlie Rangel has surrendered one of his rent controlled apartments in Harlem but claimed a homesteading tax break in DC. Everything is going to be OTAY when ZEROBAMA’S Three Stooges economic team takes over and reinvents...

Just weeks before police say an illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member shot and killed a 14-year-old Silver Spring boy, the 20-year-old man was charged with concealing a dangerous weapon by a Montgomery County police officer, court records show. The citation was issued on Oct. 3, a little less than a month before police say Hector Hernandez — an El Salvadoran illegal immigrant living in Takoma Park — opened fire on a Montgomery County bus, killing Tai Lam and wounding two other teens, ages 14 and 15. Hernandez was with four or five other alleged gang members when he...

Plea Deal applied he wizardly skills to bring us this weeks photos. Cindy_True_Supporter passed out Hawaiian Halloween leis to get the rest of...
